Long Travel BS Thread

The specs/pressure are much different between C02 and Nitrogen. C02 is a liquid when compressed where Nitorgen is not. I believe the valves are different too so you can’t get them mixed up.

they will likely offer an exchange for the proper tank.

 

That's what I figured too. I'll check on the valves later.

 

That'd be cool if you don't mind. I'd fill it up no problem.

 

Would

 

they can do it. However, the valve will need swapped is all. Tank should hold the pressure fine though. Valve is different threads and direction. I believe internally the tube is different as well.

 

iirc last time this was brought up someone mentioned using argon to fill shocks. Nitrogen is best because it doesn't attract moisture but any neutral gas works or something like that. Basicbiker it mighta been idk

 

It was

 

I just bought the setup that Kartek sells. Also picked up the King fill/gauge tool while I was there. It wasnt cheap but one stop and I was done. As been said...I now have more friends because of it

 

I bought my shock fill setup from Baja Mike on Instagram.

 

What's that needle thing he sells for?

 

Mine CO2 tank valve.

 

From one of his emails.

 

Guys with cages: how do you prevent airbag lights/codes?

I need a clean dashboard to pass inspection...

 

Took the gauge cluster apart and popped off the led’s from the circuit board.

 

That's the easy part.

Does it throw an OBDII code too?

 

Depends on what scanner the inspector has. If it's legit, airbag faults definitely show. You could make a simulator.

 

This ^^^ my generic scanner doesn’t see it, but I’m sure the legit ones will see it as a fault of some sort.

 

My set is pretty much that. 90 bottle from one the higher priced places in town and 40 reg from Amazon with a $50 fill gauge Ebay seller srs ot SRC something like that. Works great. Less then 200 total definitely could of spent less on the bottle.

 

For sure, I just spent $200 for the whole setup including bottle and no loss chuck. All between Amazon and Ebay.

 

Looks like I'll be one of the cool kids soon.
